CL Round 1: Monaco - Barca 2-1

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

Lol, Monaco doesn't allow gatherings:

Just because they have no fans, they don't want anyone else to have any too.

Got nothing against them, they are a great little club. But can't for the life of me understand how any player could play for them, when they have almost no fans at all.

Even Saudi clubs have more fans. If I was a footballer I wouldn't play there for all the money in the world. Would be soul destroying.

What does a no gathering mean? Can a bunch of cules going to a local pub constitute a gathering? Could they be more specific.

Man europe sometimes confuses me.

Rest Pedri. If he gets injured we are doomed

We need Pedri tonight, he is only hope in midfield for forward passes considering Olmo cant play. Maybe dont overuse him and sub him off when we lead after 60 minutes. Ansiu is also there if we need a goal🤞

 

[Birdy]

Pedri and Lamine should get subbed out around min.60 or so, especially if we are leading

We can't afford more injuries on key players

Can't wait for that Ansu cameo, possibly with a goal!

Pedri Soma (Barca U19 UYL) is really solid right now against Monaco.

Will pip Prim for first team call-ups if Pau doesn't sort his contract out.

And might do so even if he does.

If @Fati_Future_BallonDor watches the match, Ansu won't score

He is CDM? I thought he was a CM

Pure DMC today and looks natural at it. Holding position, hasn't missed a pass, and some clean steals of the ball including one which lead to the first goal.

Call me impressed.

Last post here before moving to the youth section.

2-2 half time. Monaco are physically massive against us. We're not helped with 2 of the 3 midfielders being Juan-Kim who are both tiny and offensive minded.

Still, great test. Virgili is technically great but also tiny. Drifted in and out the game but very very talented. Amazing that he was 18 and at Nastic.

Lastly, Somebody on YouTube or twitter is going to make a compilation video of Soma in this game and he will become the next Barca internet hype. Book it.

Yamal should always stay on the right. Need someone who can turn faster as the 10 like Messi, Messihno, or Puig.

@Horatio Chances that Feyenoord steal some points from leverkusen?

Monaco have prepared an “anti-Yamal” plan and have been testing it during training sessions this week. Vanderson, who is their usual RB, will be on the left today to mark Yamal.
